ISU 152? Why not?

[GeneralBrus]

Yes people here have talked about this vehicles potential short commings (long reload particularly), but adding it in BR 4 isnt terrible of an idea - yes we already have a KV2 in BR3 which is essentially having the same shortcomings - BUT apparently it can use a HEAT round with insane 250mm of penetration!

90mm of just slightly angled armor is “okay” for a BR4 vehicle,

being a SPG and having a very poor reload speed should justify it having a massively powerful gun,

also it could mount a dshk heavy MG like IS2.

I personally think every nation in every BR should get access to some tank destroyer that has it easier to destroy heavy tanks when getting up tiered.

tbh, the isu 152 has a DSHK just like the is2 etc, so I would put it at br4/5.

also, if this is getting added i see no reason why the Jagdtiger shouldnt be introduced

That’s post-war ammunition of what it is

Well no, just means we can have it at lower BR

ISU 152 bigboy tank for some increased Soviet bais

I think this makes sence. Its a big fuck of tank for Soviets. ITs the big boy that the Soviets need for some hot sweaty tank v tank gameplay on BRV [Su-152 late model] poll The ‘high quality’ sources is used: ISU-152 - Wikipedia ISU-152 Soviet Heavy Self Propelled Gun (1943)

@IceySmooth

Functionally the SU/ISU series is one of the major vehicle fleets to still not make it into Enlisted, despite being historically prominent.

Since the 152mm HEAT shell is post war, the vehicle would come with ~17 second reload (aka IS2 speed) and have a generally strong KV2 like effect. ie it likely fits in BR4 on average.

Id personally honestly prefer the ISU-122S to be added, since its benefit over the IS-2 would be the higher rate of fire (12 seconds with reloader buff vs 17sec) aka 25% faster ROF.

Both / either deff work and arent OP.

Jagdtiger is OP, dont ever mention it.

Again ISU 152 has just slightly angled 90mm of armor - Panzer IV can pen that.

Jagdtiger has 250mm of armor. This shouldn’t be up for debate at all.

They are crazy iconic, it really makes no sense why they are still missing from the game.
